I bought this photo described as "unknown" on the strength of its being a packed crowd at Highbury so my first thought was it was Arsenal in white at home to a team in red.
But a close-up of the defender facing the camera reveals a tell-tale badge so while it was a "mystery", I'm happy to say it isn't a mystery to me now. But I won't spoil your fun so will leave you to work out the fixture and possibly, the player in white which I think I have also solved.
Here it is:-
Player in white
Defender facing camera
Enjoy and if you come up with a different fixture to me I'd be amazed and delighted! |

No idea if correct or not, and I could be decades out, but my guess is
02/12/1936 England v Hungary (6-2)
Just because the badge on the shirt looks like Hungary's
Apologies if it is a daft answer! |

Well, it took you guys 13 minutes to crack it - between you.
It's England v Hungary 2.12.1936, and it was 6-2 to England.
Ted Drake scored a hat-trick and I reckon this is him scoring one of them with the keeper (Szabo) stranded.
Well done chaps. Not a tough test. Indeed once I opened the envelope and sat down in front of my screen, it took me about 13 minutes too!
Cheers! |
